Dear followers and friends, today here are some sketches, drawings, engravings, illustrations… (don’t matter how we could call them) made after title of plays: theatre, literature, movies, musicals, TV series, etc. The 8th picture is an sketch by Munch. Maybe someday I will classify each author with his most important topic, and Edvard had a life determined by deep feelings about the LOVE AND THE DEATH and this is obvious if we realize the details on his works. So, this artist made some sketches like ‘Carrion’ (dead rotten flesh) after a poem by Baudelaire, that was really awesome. Definitely THE LOVE AND THE DEATH, and these extreme sensations when they are mixed achieve a deep passion.

So, about this thought, I just want to suggest a great song ‘My skin’, composed after a real narration of a woman that realizes that her couple can’t make love with her because she is dying.

Also a dreadful and great film ‘Amour’ (maybe the best of my last ten years of cinema) about their late and deep love between an old couple.

And finally about the 12th picture, the sketch by Blake, Quentin, I linked some frivolous but delicious pictures about a literature play fitted for TV ‘Brideshead Revisited’ (perhaps this language was promoted with the lushness of british works).

Well folks, I admire your sensitivity that always you displayed like exquisite beholders. Thanks for your visit and enjoy!

Here are the sketches

Dear followers and friends, I’ve never felt myself any special defensor of animals, but today I want to appeal your attention. Please browse to the third picture, the simian of the drawing by Hendrick Goltzius tied with a chain at its neck, and now please look at the gaze of this creature and you will understand that it’s supplicating mercy from humans.Let me suggest a book, and by the by, I think this had to be obligatory to discuss at the schools. This is ‘The Lives of Animals’ by J.M. Coetzee.Coetzee’s work debates the establishing of morality and appeals to the ethics with a so interesting and amazing way, sometimes like a novel and sometimes immersed in the world of philosophy.The colorful and lovely first sketch by Franz Marc is dedicated to a very cherished friend of mine: Sara P. Lorenzo.An spanish psychologist woman and in this case another defensor of animals, particularly admirer of wolves. She always knows to teach something with her speciality. Here is the access to her blog:

Hi folks! As you know the legend about some religious characters explains some martyrdoms. The popular and wonderful ‘tale or history’ of this saint is that he was punished in a ditch with a bunch of lions and he survived without be injured by these animals. Thanks for your visit. Cheers!

After the Second World War, USA foreign policy has been promote armed conflicts worldwide. The list would be too long to remember all countries.

The high commands of that country speak of ‘allies’, but NATO is headed by generals of that nation, and those who say they have to be his friends, is demonstrably proven that had been spied upon by their distrust.

The allies are harmed by the desire of Washington, for what they call ‘security’ when actually the consequence of their
policy across the globe is the hate that they foment.

With a deep international economic crisis, also want to push us to increase military budgets of our countries, and also to send refugees from armed conflicts toward Europe. Those who never will reach Arkansas, Colorado, Virginia,Texas or any other state.

We must to stop the using of the allies, as shields. THE AMERICAN WARS ARE NOT OURS. That nation has been awaking enemies around the world, and the events demonstrate their old spirit like the gunmen of a western.

Someday their hegemony will end and we’re proud to have collaborated with our bit.

Although the media are dominated by them, at least we can denounce what they do.
